Looking further into your question, I think you need some sort of commercial - type equipment. You could do it if every station had a packet transceiver and CAT capable radios.

Maybe a simpler...

You mean like packet radio?

You could program a simple scanner to sweep between two frequencies and record the output, modify that output to interface with whatever, yes.

Software Defined Radio can also do this, with a USB...

RST = Readability, Signal, Tone

as a radio ham you will only need two, 599 or 5NN :)

Only readability matters, signal strength is mostly irrelevant and tone is usually reserved for CW...

Looks like a "smart" charger connector, I forget what they are called. Radio controlled cars etc use them...

What are you powering it with? It sounds like a supply problem...

What are you powering it with? it could be a power supply issue if you're driving it too hard...

Isn't there an open-source compatiable version?

Most likely water in the coaxial cable, it's not repairable. Change the coax and make sure the new one is properly sealed with self-amalgamating tape at the antenna end...

None of those frequencies are allocated to us - we would lose our license if we used them for amateur radio...

[edit] you do mean MHz don't you?

It sounds like something wrong with the switch-mode, did you transmit while it was plugged in?

Build a QRP kit! there are lots out there - if you're not too scared of SMD, there are some really good little kits, comparable to a full-sized setup.
I recommend a single-band (or frequency) type...

Almost all H.F. transceivers are general coverage, they will all tune AM broadcast frequencies.

With hindsight, I would search for a secondhand H.F. transciever from the big 3, Icom, Kenwood or...

A recording would help!

PSK centres around 14.070, what you're hearing is probably MFSK multi-tones like Olivia...

When your SWR goes high, you will find out :D

I've got one, pretty good on 11m, does work on 10, but as you might expect, it cant compare to a "real" ham radio.
It was given to me by a fellow ham who used it for years...

As for the op, I...

You could try:
unplug USB cable, uninstall software
re-install software without USB connected

The software costs £30 and is available here.

Find a local club and take it there!

Make sure you aren't holding it too tightly or you might lose both your arms...

Yes, a perfect home for any SDR, masthead antenna switches & pre-amplifiers...

Go and visit your local library!

Its probably overloading the receiver with adjacent frequencies, maybe a bandpass filter would help.

Those radios are well known for this problem...

Here's the link for the manual, if it's not in there, phone a dealer or Icom themselves, they are usually very helpful...

You can listen to what you want, provided you do not pass on any information to a third party (I think that's how it works).

Have a look for an RTL dongle (on ebay) they go for less than £10 and...

Is the tower capable of repeating your signal, it may be digital only.

Search online for the callsign of the tower, you should find access details easy enough...
